Get top 1 row of each group

Question

I have a table which I want to get the latest entry for each group. Here\'s the table:

DocumentStatusLogs Table

|ID| DocumentID | Status         


        

Answer 1

SELECT o.*
FROM `DocumentStatusLogs` o                   
  LEFT JOIN `DocumentStatusLogs` b                   
  ON o.DocumentID = b.DocumentID AND o.DateCreated < b.DateCreated
 WHERE b.DocumentID is NULL ;

If you want to return only recent document order by DateCreated, it will return only top 1 document by DocumentID
